Server Hardware
Interface apps on application servers use one core or one share of a core and up to 128MB RAM total (0.13GB) = negligible load. Web server instances use one core or one share of a core each with up to 128MB RAM each (0.13GB) = negligible load.
Plato's advice is that any server or VM adequately resourced per manufacturer advice and with sufficient allocated cores, is adequate for PLATO server apps.
